Chapter 271: The Power of Heavy Artillery
It is also because of Kelsey's careful thinking that the walls of the Overwatch are also three times the thickness of the normal city walls, although the cannonballs fired by the mobile gun carriage are very impactful, but, because of its caliber, the size of these cannonballs is also one size smaller, so, in the eyes of Count Hamreger, in addition to adding a lot of pockmarked points on the opposite wall, the actual effect is very limited.

His second son, the commander of the mobile artillery carriage regiment, Baker, also sent someone to ask, "Do you want to continue to push forward in order to increase the damage of the shells to the enemy's walls?"
Standing on the arrow tower, Count Hamleg turned his head to look at the conventional artillery that had been destroyed by his side, after completing the tentative mission, they were destroyed by the artillery at the head of the opponent's city before they could retreat, after all, they had no wheels, and it was very inconvenient to move.
Calculating the distance between them and the enemy's walls, Count Hamleg sent back to Beck his order: it was possible to advance, but it must not exceed the destroyed artillery of its own artillery, and the mobile artillery regiment must stop a few dozen meters behind them.
Since he found that the range of those mobile artillery trucks on the opposite side was a bit long, Lin Feng withdrew some of the defenders on the city wall, leaving too many people on it, just to increase the results of the other party. However, Lin Feng also found that the strength of his own city wall seemed to surprise the enemy, and they gave up their advantage in order to increase the "damage value" of the cannonballs, and they were slowly advancing towards this place.
As soon as Lin Feng's thoughts turned, he immediately gave an order: "Let our light artillery start firing at the enemy's mobile artillery trucks in batches, don't be afraid of wasting shells, first fire a few rounds quickly, and then say, in addition, Kelsey, you personally go to the heavy artillery battery to supervise the formation, let them hurry up and install our heavy artillery, as long as the enemy's artillery trucks are within the range of the heavy artillery, then fire and bombard them, let them see the power of the heavy artillery." ”
In order to attract Count Hamreg's mobile gun carriage, Lin Feng deliberately wasted the shells of the light artillery at the head of the city, this was to show the other party, "Look, my range is very short, come, get closer and hit me!" As for stopping after firing a few rounds, that is also a strategy, well, if he keeps letting his light artillery fire, then the other party should be suspicious, "What are they doing here? They know that they can't hit us, but they keep firing, there is a conspiracy?"
War is war after all, even if Lin Feng intends to reduce the number of defensive soldiers exposed at the head of the city, he can't help but leave people on the city wall, right? Therefore, this casualty is inevitable, and Pamela and her priest sisters have also seen the cruel side of war for the first time.
When they vomited because of the stimulation of the bloody breath, the medical soldiers of Lin Feng's medical battalion taught them a good lesson, those male medical soldiers in the medical battalion, the two of them carried a thing called "stretcher", and carried one wounded soldier after another on the city wall, and those "nurses" handled the wounds of these wounded soldiers with their hands and feet, skillfully and quickly.
Among them, the most seriously injured were carried in front of Pamela and them, "These seriously injured need you to use healing to save their lives, as for those with less serious injuries, they don't have to waste healing after taking healing potions." That's what the head nurse in her thirties explained to Pamela.
In this regard, Pamela, who participated in the attack and defense of Nims and the defense of Rose Newtown, she understood the head nurse's approach very well, after all, in wartime, the priest retains more magic and one more healing technique, then she may save the life of one more seriously wounded person, as for those lightly wounded, they would rather suffer a little more than let too many comrades die, especially because they take up unnecessary healing skills and die.
In the interval between the battle, Lin Feng also received a magic message from Kivika, they had reached the designated position, except for the five thousand rangers who were in the rear ready to outflank and intercept the enemy's rout, the other ten thousand troops had already approached their camp from the enemy's rear, just waiting for him to give the order to attack.
Lin Feng asked Kelsey again, and after getting the results that the heavy artillery was about to be debugged, he replied to Kivika: "When our heavy artillery starts to roar, your cavalry corps can charge!"
Count Hamleg was quite satisfied with the current state of the battle, on the one hand, his mobile gun carriage was comfortably out of the range of the enemy's artillery, pouring fire on the enemy's city, but he could see very clearly that the enemy was beaten with their heads and rats.
On the other hand, under the continuous shelling, he was pleased to find that large pieces of rubble began to fall off the enemy's walls, although the damaged walls were not too much, but this also showed that his approaching artillery bombardment still worked, "Maybe with a little more effort, the city wall should collapse." ”
Of course, if Count Hamleg had known the true thickness of the wall in front of him, he would have turned around and left: it was too much of a bully, for the first time I had heard that the wall was much thicker than the height of the wall.
"Boom~boom, boom~boom," the characteristic sound of the heavy artillery suddenly came from the front, and when Count Hamreg heard it, he was almost shocked and fell off the arrow tower, as a senior commander, he naturally understood what kind of weapon the voice he heard, "Heavy artillery! There was a heavy cannon in the Watch Fort? When did they bring it? Why didn't the spies who were mixed with the workers report the news to him?"
He jerked back to look at his phalanx of gun carriages, and without chance, a large solid iron ball was running wildly inside, shattering all the obstacles that stood in its way—his gun carriage and the gunners who jumped out of the gun carriage and dodged in all directions.
Without waiting for Count Hamreg to give the order for the gun carriages to retreat, after completing two test shots, the ten heavy guns at the head of the Overwatch City finally began their furious roar, and one after another large shells rushed out of the muzzles and smashed into his gun carriage phalanx one after another, and in just one round of artillery bombardment, he lost a dozen mobile gun carriages.
And at this moment, at the rear of his camp, there was a sudden rise of smoke and dust, and then, a rumbling hoof came from there, shaking his hands, and Count Hamleg easily pointed his monocular at his right eye, and through the camera, he found in despair that it was the enemy's heavy cavalry regiment, and they did not hide in the watchfort and suffer from his shelling, but came from his rear!
"How did they do it? I saw them retreating into the castle little by little!" Count Hamreg's question was not answered until he was captured by Lin Feng, but at that time, it was too late.
